Not only that, but is that the tip of a fence picket ?
One issue that hasn't been addressed is that when these classic trailers were built the quality of the wood available was much, much better than it is today. If you can find a specialty miller, it might be an option. It would be tougher to do with typical plantation-grown lumberyard stock.
We run across this all the time with old boats - I can repower them with anything you want, but replacing timbers usually means laminating them from lesser stock than what was originally used....which may be a good option since the original builders didn't have the epoxies we do...
